To determine the total number of class officer combinations available using the Fundamental Counting Principle, we multiply the number of choices for each position.
There are 8 candidates for president and 6 candidates for vice-president.
The total number of combinations is calculated as follows:
\[ \text{Total Combinations} = (\text{Number of Candidates for President}) \times (\text{Number of Candidates for Vice-President}) = 8 \times 6 = 48 \]
Thus, the total number of class officer combinations available is 48.
